Betrayed Love

In Cape Bridgewater they were married by a marriage celebrant on the beach in the sun
And later on that evening their wedding reception in a Portland Hotel was much fun
A day with family and friends she would never forget
But sometimes what should be happy memories are tainted with regret

To the handsome young man she loved she had become the wife
A love that she thought that would last for life
He told her he would love her till the day he did die
Though some men are unfaithful and have been known to lie

But that was a year ago now she is in tears
And the bitterness and grief of betrayed love can linger with one for years
Three months ago he left her to elope with somebody new
To know of betrayed love she is one of quite a few

The lingering heartache of betrayed love she has known
Five months pregnant she must raise her child on her own
Her wedding on the sunlit beach at Cape Bridgewater to her now a bad memory
That love does have it's dark side is how it seems to be

Though the hurt of betrayed love in her does remain
Perhaps sometime in the future she will fall in love again
For her love ache will lessen with each passing day
Since time is the best healer as the wise one does say.
